Community guidelines

Last updated: 21 July 2026

Skriza is meant for content that contributes something: explaining, evidencing, moving a subject forward. These guidelines say what that means in practice and where the line runs. They are deliberately short and in plain language — rules nobody reads do not work.

1. What has no place here

Each of these has a matching reason in a post's report menu. What you report goes into a list, and the list gets read.

  • Spam and advertising: the same thing at volume, unrelated links, bought reach.
  • Harassment and bullying: singling someone out to belittle, follow or target them.
  • Hate speech: attacking people over origin, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation or the like.
  • Violence and threats: threatening, glorifying or calling for violence.
  • Nudity and sexual content: anything involving minors above all — there is no balancing test for that.
  • Misinformation: demonstrably false claims about health, safety or elections that can cause harm.
  • Illegal content: anything prohibited under European or German law.

2. Criticism is welcome, contempt is not

Disagreement, hard arguments and uncomfortable subjects belong here. The difference is whether you engage with a matter or diminish a person. Showing why someone is wrong is debate. Only landing blows is not.

3. What happens when you report something

Every report lands in a list we work through by hand — during the closed beta a person reads it, not an automation. We can remove the content, dismiss the report, or leave it open for further review.

You hear back. Filing a report gets you a confirmation that it arrived, and once it is decided you are told what was decided — including when we dismiss it, because silence would just read as being ignored.

Honest about where we are: we still do not state a response time, and there is no way to contest a decision on a report you filed. We are building both before Skriza opens publicly. We would rather write that down than make a commitment we could not keep today.

Reporting the same thing repeatedly does not help — one open report per person per post is enough, and it gets read just the same.

4. Younger users

Content aimed at or depicting minors is treated more strictly than anything else. In case of doubt we remove first and sort it out afterwards. More on our youth protection page.

5. What we expect of ourselves

We say what we do, and claim nothing we have not built. Where a feature is still missing, the page says so — even when that reads less impressively. And when we remove a post, it has to trace back to a rule on this page.
